OK. I’ll try adding that to my theme.

But, wouldn’t it be min-width instead of max-width?

Just before I released this plug-in Amazon changed their terms so that they only allow a limited number of queries per hour to their database. Yes, even the links on Bookspree.com run out at the end of most hours. The only way to get Amazon to give you more queries is to sell more items.

The amazon error was the best I can do in the latest release. I am working on some better results for a future release but considering the limits, there is not much I can do.

Efficiency Guidelines

If your application is trying to submit requests that exceed the maximum hourly request limit for your account, you may receive error messages from Product Advertising API. The hourly request limit for each account is calculated based on revenue performance. Each account used to access the Product Advertising API is allowed an initial usage limit of 2,000 requests per hour. Each account will receive an additional 500 requests per hour (up to a maximum of 25,000 requests per hour) for every $1 of shipped item revenue driven per hour in a trailing 30-day period. You could verify that your sales are being attributed to your calls to the Product Advertising API by checking for the following:

You are using the only links provided by the API when linking back to Amazon.

Your Associate Account and Product Advertising API account are created using the same Amazon Account (or email).

You are passing your Associate tag in all your requests to the API.

It reappeared today, and I got a message asking me about it from www.ads-software.com. Nothing mentioned about it being removed or violating any rules but apparently, it was being reviewed. I asked in my reply what’s going on.

Thanks! I will look at the WordPress SEO Plug-in code closer.

I understand PHP fairly well, it’s all the WordPress functions that are new to me. ;-D

I found wp_title works on the <title> tag, and also (perhaps more specific?) post_title does the same.

Filtering the_title will change the <h1 class="entry-title"> BUT it also changes all the tabs names equally (except the home page). I also tried post_name which does nothing I can notice. Any other suggestions?

2 things I struggle with: finding the right hook (codex has poor documentation / organization and adambrown.info is not much better); also understanding add_filter (which I can get to work but still seems very mysterious).

Try commenting that out. Just put “//” before eval and try reloading the page. If it’s gone, that’s it. If not remove the “//” and try something else.

The message you are getting is fairly straightforward. Did you or someone else alter the theme for the site? There are a few possibilities. You could be calling a function before it was defined. One of your files may not be where it should be or some code may have been deleted or altered. It’s not possible to pinpoint without looking at the code.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_header() in /home2/lkdesig2/public_html/contact.php on line 1

I happen to have a link to “How to Build a Custom WordPress Theme from Scratch” https://www.blog.spoongraphics.co.uk/tutorials/how-to-build-a-custom-wordpress-theme-from-scratch

It helped me get started.

Nevermind. I figured it out.

I was using echo instead of return in my function.

Are you using something similar to the twentyten theme? I find the menus screen to be very confusing. There is a “Save Menu” button in the box where you change the title. Are you hitting that after?

Maybe if you tell us know which theme you are using and your URL.

Hope that helps.

Interesting site. I’ve thought about creating a community site myself but never did. I did read one helpful article however, (Sorry, I can’t find the URL) that suggested you seed a forum at first with zealous, helpful posters. Ask a few friends and family (pay them if necessary) to post question, answer questions, and keep the conversation going. Nobody wants to join a forum that has few posts and few members.

I hope that’s helpful. Also, if you can get a designer to look at your site and give advice, you should do so.

Hope that’s helpful.

OK, they seem to work. Still, why did this happen?

FYI: I found the BEST option was to first port my blog to a blogspot.com site temporarily. Then WordPress could import all seven years of post and comments beautifully. I set the blogspot blog to be unlisted and will delete it now that I’m done.

As for the custom php, once I understood the structure of the wordpress template, I was able to use all of it.

WordPress is a great platform.

This works as described above for my localhost testing server. I also found when I tired this on my hosted website, pasting my function in ‘functions.php’ causes the same error but in ‘shortcodes.php’ it actually works.

This doesn’t jive with what MichaelH said and besides, I hope to have my testing server work the same as my hosting server.

If anyone has any insight on getting this working on both servers, please reply. In the meantime, I’ll delve into plug-ins.

The code in the sidebars is untouched form the default “sidebar.php”.
